What a wonderful scene: She puts her boots on . . . and smiles. That says it all. She’s not going to check things out first. She could always come back for the boots, but no, they are already on and ready when she walks through the back wall of the wardrobe again . . . and into the winter wonderland she knew would be there. As leaders, we must lead with confidence in our shared vision and in the future. If we’re not optimistic about what awaits us in the future, no one else will be either.
